5 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 02/08/2018

I am on the second windshield in less than 2 years. The first one could have been caused by impact as it occurred while I was driving on a highway. The second time in less than 6 months (first windshield was replaced with mopar oem parts) I was sitting at a red light when I saw it crack, there was no impact. I had my defrosters on high heat and high fan. The crack went from the center of the windshield all the way to the drivers side. Researching on line this is a very common issue with the vehicle and needs to be recalled and better glass should be installed.
